Past Faceoffs

Predictions

Thoughts

nV did look somewhat shaky against CLG and I was extremely surprised about them banning Dust2 over Overpass, this is a huge mistake and could have costed them the BO3. Train was far from close but Cache was extremely clenchy. Infact, nV ONLY got 6 T rounds which is extremely rare, nV usually get 10+ T rounds easily. Somehow, nV did manage to close it out on their weaker side CT, but as I mentioned, CLG’s CT side will be good, but it’s going to be their T side where they will lack rounds. Now, Dignitas beat FlipSid3 2:0 but this looked extremely strange, they were up 13:2 on both Inferno and Cobblestone but let FlipSid3 come back on their CT side, Inferno ended 16:13 and Cobblestone ended 16:12, Dignitas did close it out but at some point it definitely looked like the good old Chokenitas.

Conclusion

nV sort of lacking quality right now whereas Dignitas are just smashing (on their CT side). This will be an incredible close match but the fact is, Dignitas never won against nV including matches on lan. I think nV will keep this record and beat Dignitas 2:1 here. The maps will most likely be Train, Mirage, Inferno and I think Dignitas can win Mirage just barely, but I don’t see them taking Inferno at all.

Bet

Not sure how the odds will end but I think a low / medium bet on EnVyUs should be good here. Again, Dignitas can upset but I just don’t see it happening looking at the H2H matches. There’s always a first time though, but I don’t believe this time.
